Awesome weekend glad I made it up there to check stuff out and test some stuff. Hell I even got a new nickname. Thanks to hellscanyon. Not going to miss it next year. Looking forward to another one.

2 packs sounds like fun. :( Glad to hear you two made it out okay. I didn't realize she had hit the wall or I would have offered to take some gear for you. You guys did come 'prepared' when it comes to alcohol. Lol.

I already sent Ryan a request for your name change Scott. We will see what he thinks about "The professional drinker." ;)

Glad you enjoyed shooting man! I was really pleased with the results for sure. Shooting the rocks at 968 and 1020 yards was pretty fun!
I'm going to try and get out the first weekend in August and shoot some paper at long range so I can really see what kind of groups I'm getting.

Looks like a great trip! Would've like to been there.

Sure looks like a yard sale with all those tarps up :)

Had a great time on the hiking trip. Thanks to everyone who came up with the ideas and coordination. You'd have been hard pressed to find a better collection of high end gear to check out in one place; packs, shelters, optics, custom kuiu shirts and sitka shorts, haha. It was cool to meet everyone.

I agree with Brock, a winter trip sounds like it would be an awesome time!

ZERO mosquito bites for me...

It must be the Indian blood! ;)

I have at least 30 bites, but thankfully I don't swell up at all. I really had no idea WA had mosquitos like that. I think my throat is permanently dried out from breathing Thermacell smoke all weekend. I also hope I didn't do any more brain damage. Lol.
